Does anyone listen to them? I never saw them talked about much, if at all, around AP, but they seem like a group who should have gained at least a little bit of a following. Their debut might be my favorite of 2014, the more I listen to it.

Yeah, the album is definitely coming. Hopefully they announce it before too long.

“We found the same tape machine that we did the first record on, so we’ve been writing, recording, for the last three weeks,” guitarist Alex O’Hanley told DIY back in August last year. “It’s tricky to do on the road - you can’t really kart around a 1983 reel-to-reel everywhere. We never really stop writing, though.” Eight months on, there’s every chance they’re putting the finishing touches to a new LP.

Easily my favorite album of 2014. I listened to it almost every other day for about 8 months before I finally put it down for a while last summer. There's nothing particularly special about it beyond how good the songwriting is and somehow that kind of makes it better. Also it reminds me a lot of a female fronted companion record to Real Estate s/t which is my favorite guitar album since however long it's been since it came out. Really hoping for a new album soon though I wasn't bowled over by the new stuff when I saw them.

I think for me, the sound of it just perfectly comes together. It's such a carefree, feel-good album for me (despite the fact that it's actually pretty sad lyrically in a lot of places) and is one of those I just throw on when I don't feel in the particular mood for anything super upbeat, or super sad. It's just a really good comfort album for me.
